Nxserver Error: Authentication….failed. Error is ‘Wrong password or login’.

[aaru07]

I installed Nxserver on Oracle Linux 8 as free. Getting below error

 nxexecPAMCheckCredentials: ERROR! Authentication failed.

 nxexecPAMCheckCredentials: Error code ‘7’, ‘Authentication failure’.

NXSERVER WARNING! Process ‘/usr/NX/bin/nxexec –auth’ with pid ‘4444/419210’ finished with exit code 1 after 1,566 seconds.

NXSERVER ERROR! Authentication with ‘NX-password’ from host ‘$host’ failed. Error is ‘Wrong password or login’.

uncommented the/etc/server.cfg

EnablePasswordDB 0 and EnableUserDB 0 and restarted the nxserver but it is not able to login

It could be a problem with your permissions. Take a look at this topic https://forum.nomachine.com/topic/authentication-failed-with-error-7.

These steps helped me

sudo cp /etc/pam.d/nx /etc/pam.d/nx.ori
sudo cp /etc/pam.d/sshd /etc/pam.d/nx

But I now have new challenge. I am able to login but have the following issue

“The server was unable to make the local display available or access to the local display is disabled.”

Take a look at the answer from Mth in an earlier topic

Unable to make the local display available or access to the local display is disabled
